Dear Colleagues: I want to update you on lnterest Arbltration and the need to press local MPPs even more.At this weeKs Rural Ontario Municipal Association Conference, the government referenced interest arbitration but it is becomingclearer that the government is likely to only re-introduce its earlier Budget Bill proposals with relatively mínor change. AMO toldthe Premier and Min jsters at the Ministers' Forum (21 Ministers attending) that this would not be enough - that legislation mustprovideforthepriorityconslderationofthefiscal healthofacommunity. Onothermatters,weheardall partiescommentthat"one size does not fìt all" and that is definitely true of interest arbitration.Local awareness and coverage of how arbitration has become about replicated awards îs even more critical in the coming few weeksas it is speculated that government's amendments likely will be contained in the Budget Bill (anticipated in early April).At the same event, Tim Hudak said that he's been listening and wlll be tabling another private member's bill on interest arbitrationin the next couple of weeks. Andrea Horwath was silent on this particular matter during her speech,Below is information that we hope helps you when you talk to your MPPs, your media, citizens, etc. Call Pat Vanini (416 971 9856)[email protected],çqifyouneedanyadditional Ìnformatîonorsupport. Again,timeisoftheessenceifwearetoinfluencechange.

Attached for your use is:

l. Set of Cls and A's is attached for use with media interviews - local awareness and coverage is even more critical.Z. We've had positive indication from the Ontario Chamber of Commerce about support and we are helping them send information to

their local chapters asap - so do make that local connection soon ifyou can.

t. We've learned about a recent lA decìsion which was part of a question posed to the province at the Ministers' Forum at theconference this week. ln Scugog (population about 22,000, north end of Durham Region) which has a composite fire department, a

recent award was 23% over four years for its + full time fire fìghters (a 2%Iax increase) whereas its CUPE workers received 9/o over4 years.

to lnterest Arbitratioo SYstem

At a news briefing today, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario,

joined by the Large Urban Mayors' Caucus of Ontario (LUMCO) and

the Mayors and Regional Chairs of Ontario (MARCO), shared a

Iegislative checklíst aimed at addressing key issues.

'There were several legislative proposals tabled last year to make

changes to the interest arbitration systern," said AMo President Russ

Powers. "As lawmakers reconvene. this checklist is an effort to make

sure theyget it right. Taxpayers should see how decisions are arrived

at and what it means for their community."

Interest arbitration is the onJy ìegal way to seftle contract negotiation

disputes with essential workers, such as police and firefighters, who

are not allowed to strike.

M un icipa I governments a re frustrated wÎth the p riority that

replication of agreements from one comrnunity to another has over

consideration of local fiscal conditions. In addition, the length of the

process can be long, sometimes takingyears before a decision is

made.

AMO's legislative check líst includes:

. Streamlining the process and creating a 12-month timeline

for completion.. Clear, measurable cr¡teria for evaluating the fiscal health of a

communit¡1.. Requiring that arbitrators give priority to and provide clear,

written explanation of howthe fiscal health of a community

was considered.

"We value emergency service personnel. Their professional training

and responsîbilities are recognized within a municÎpalgovernmenfs

overall pay structure," said LUMCO Chair and Mississauga Mayor

Hazel McCallion. "It is reasonable that annual Pãy raises reflect the

htþ;//www.amo.on.cal'WCN{/amo/AMO_ContentÀtrews-Re eases/20l3ilvlunicipalCheckl. 0110312013 of 32

Interest Ar-bitration Should Be L or"cien! Transparent and Accountable

economic circumstances of the community they serve, and to be

comparable to increases given to its other municipal employees."

'The changes do not direct an outcome for either party at interest

arbitration," noted Niagara Regional Chair Gary Burroughs. "Instead,these changes mean community taxpayers know how their tax

contributions payfor the award and how the decision was made."

AMO is a non-profit organization representing almost all of OntarÍo's

444 municipal governments. AMO supports and enhances strong and

effective municipal government in Ontario and promotes the value of

munîcipal government as a vital and essential component of Ontario

and Canada's political system.

TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE CLERK AND COUNCIL

Date: March20,2013

Provincial Government applauded for improving municipal POA fine collection

Today the government introduced legislation to improve the ability of municipalities to collect unpaidProvincial Offences Act ftnes. The Highway Trffic Statute Law Amendment Act,2073 is a significant step toaddressing a longstanding municipal concern and will improve the administration ofjustice inOntario.

If passed, the legislation will deny licence plates to drivers who have unpaid fines for offences such as speeding,improper lane changes, illegal turns, driving without insurance, and careless driving. AMO is pleased all threeprovincial political parties have voiced their support for these changes.

AMO's advocacy on this issue spans more than seven years and was a key ask during the 2011 provincialelection. In his 2012 reporl. Don Drummond recommended enhancements to POA fine collection which wereincluded in the 2012provincial budget. AMO will continue to work with the Ministry of Transportation and theMinistry of the Attorney General to complete other implementation changes in the provincial-municipal actionplan to improve POA hne collection.

The govemment will provide f,rnal estimates on the total of outstanding fines payable to municipalities. Theaccuracy of these estimates is dependent on a variety of factors including the speedy implementation of theadministrative changes necessary within the provincial government to support this legislation. At present thesechanges may take two years to complete. AMO urges that they be made as quickly as possible so thatmunicipal governments will be in a position to collect these unpaid fines. AMO will continue to updatemembers as further information is available.

Dear Sir/Madam:

Re:

Please find attache d the 2012 annual financial statements, reconcTling OPP policing costs for yourmunicipality.

Please note that municipalities will receive an applicable credit for either the Provincial Services (Jsage

(PSU), which compensates municipalities for time officers spend away from the detachment areaperforming provincial duties, or a reduction of Hours Below Minimum, as set out in the contract,whichever is greater.

ln conjunction with the 2012 review of policing costs for the purpose of updating of the Municipal Cost-Recovery Formula, it was determined that Ontario Shared Service fees will not be charged tomunicipalities effective January 7 , 2072. This update has been reflected in the 2012 f,rnal year-endreconciliation of municipal policing costs. Please refer to the notes included inthe annualfinancialstatement for additional information on the determination of final costs.

The difference between the billed amount (net of any semi-annual reconciliation credit issued) and theactual costs will be credited or billed to your municipality directly by the Ontario Shared Services (OSS)in the next few weeks. If you wish to apply a final year end reconciliation credit amount against yourcurrent balance (or a future invoice), please clearly indicate this request on your remittance (cheque stubor remittance advice) to OSS to ensure your credit is properly applied on your account.

Ifyou have any questions regardingthe attached annualfinancial statemenfs, please contactyour localDetachment Commander.

AMO Communications [[email protected]]Tuesday, March 26,2013 5:02 PMthorner@mu lm u rtownsh ip. caAMO Breaking New - AMO's 2013 Pre-Budget Submission to the Standing Committee onFinance and Economic Affairs.


March 26,2013

AMO's 2013 Pre-Budget Submission to the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs

On March 22,2013 AMO President, Russ Powers, presented AMO's 2013 Pre-Buclget Submission to the

Standins Committee on Finance and Econornic Allàirs. Below are highlights for the interest of members'

Submission Highlights :

L The Upload: Municipalities continue to applaud the upload Agreement. We need to see its continued

protection, without any slippage and we thank the Premier for her commitment to it'

2. No new mandates: Signif,rcant costs of other social programs remain on the property tax base. While

officials at the province may point to the upload 'savings', municipal governments respond to the

operational challenges of providing social housing, child care, source water protection plans, making

accessibility standards a reality and helping to fund hospital capital. A long list of 'ancillary' policies

and programs hits our bottom line and eats up these 'savings'. We ask for no new mandates or unfunded

responsibilities.

3. The Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund: Narrowing the gap between the relatively fiscally

healthier and poorer communities must remain a constant and unambiguous aim. Is 2014 really the best

time to make another $25 million cut to the OMPF? Does it make sense to cut funding for equalization,

northern/rural communities and policing even further? It is this group of municipalities that bore a $25

million reduction this year and will face a further $50 million cut over next two years. This seems

counter intuitive and even more so when those rural and northern municipalities with OPP must pay an

g.55%wage increase for 2014. In addition, we call on the government to restore OMPF reconciliation

for 20i I and20l2.

4. Infrastructure Financing: A successful solution to the infrastructure financing challenge will meet the

unique needs of each region while recognizing their differing fiscal capacities. Rural and northern

municipalities need a dedicated fund for roads and bridges. For urban Ontario, where the tax base is

broader and the economy is stronger, the range of financing tools being considered would go a long way

towards meeting urban transportation needs.

5. Development Charges: Even modest changes to the Development Charges Act to permit development

charges for hospital capital and transit would be a good place to start fixing the funding challenge in

urban areas.

Interest Arbitration: All municipalities - large and small across Ontario are committed to changes tointerest arbitration. V/hat we are interested in is a system that is fair, has balance for both employers andemployees and holds arbitrators to account for their decisions. Interest arbitration decisions do

materially affect the fiscal situation of municipal governments and their taxpayers.

Policing Costs: It is time to rethink how we deliver policing. V/hat alternatives exist regarding core

and non-core policing functions? Are there cheaper alternatives to delivering court security? Couldcommunity safety education, crime prevention and assisting the victims of crime be more efficientlydelivered? What efficiencies can be found in the operations of the Ontario Provincial Police? AMOremains committed to working with the government and others on these issues, however, we cannot

afford to wait long for solutions.

President Powers also wrote to the Minister of Finance to highlight the importance of other key issues. Henoted last week's introduction of new legislative tools to improve the collection of Provincial Offences Act Ttnes

as an excellent example of provincial-municipal problem solving. Some of the other ideas we've offered

include:

More effTcient public services: Greater efficiencies are possible with the recommendations of the

recent social assistance review and how these services are delivered. AMO is committed to exploringthese options provided any changes do not add new burdens to the property tax dollar. Similarly withDr. Samir Sinha's report on proposals to better serve the needs of our senior population; AMO is keen to

explore delivering better services in better ways, but not on the back of the property tax dollar.

Infrastructure Financing: Since2005, AMO has administered Canada's Gas Tax Fund for every

municipality in the province except Toronto. It is the best tool for long-term funding because it ispredictable. It permits municipalities to be responsive to local needs, without grant applications, review

and approval. It trusts municipalities to use the funds for its capital needs and sets out a transparent,

accountable and cost efficient on-line administration that meet all of its audit requirements and program

objectives. It is a measure of how all infrastructure programs, both federal and provincial can be

delivered.

Simptifying Reporting Requirements: One of the matters that the Drummond Report highlighted was

the amount of provincial oversight and municipal reporting that is required but not usefully analysed.

One municipality tallied the reports it provides to the province on a yearly basis. It submits the

following to provincial ministries: 96 monthly reports, 100 quarterly reports, 6 semi-annual reports and

68 annual reports. This is a total of 270 reports annually plus an additional 16 audited statements, plus

the annual Financial Information Retum. From AMO's perspective, there is plenty of room to simplify

reporting requirements while maintaining accountability and better coordination of these activities in

straightforward ways. The regulatory and reporting pendulum must retum to the middle. We are calling

for the province and municipalities to figure out a better way.

Joint and Several Liability: Liability reform remains an ongoing need. Joint and several liabilities

translate into a punishing f,rnancial burden for many municipalities with fractional responsibility for an

individual's loss. Nothing will focus attention on the issue more quickly than when insurance

companies cease offering municipal coverage. We need to avoid this worst case scenario. The

complexity of this issue is no reason to shy away from finding a better solution as many other

jurisdictions have already done.2

Provincial Land Tax: The property tax inequities that exist in the north where municipalities border

unincorporated areas with low taxes and minimal services needs to be addressed.

Heads and Beds and Dam Payments: Municipalities which host post-secondary institutions are

increasingly disadvantaged by a payment-in-lieu regime that has remained unchanged in over twenty

years. This includes provincial facilities such as universities, colleges, correctional institutions,

hospitals and facilities for the disabled. Adding to that, for the next three years the province is freezing

payments to municipalities which host hydro-electric facilities. These costs are on the backs ofmunicipal property taxpayers in these communities. The province needs to pay its own bills.

The direct appointment of municipal representatives to the MPAC Board: Hete's an easy

opportunity to streamline a process and recognise municipalities as a mature order of govemment.

Currently AMO submits a list of names to the Minister of Finance from which the Minister chooses

municipal representatives to the MPAC Board. Having municipalities choose their representative

directly would simplify the process considerably.

Action: For information.

Provinciøl Offences Act (POA) Status Update

The Board received an update on the current status of AMO advocacy on the collection of fines under theProvÌncial Offences Act. OnMarch 20th, the government introduced Bill 34, The Highway Trffic Statute LawAmendment Act, 2013 which, if passed, would deny license plates to drivers who have unpaid fines for offencessuch as speeding, improper lane changes, illegal turns, driving without insurance and careless driving. Thisenabling legislation is a positive step forward on a longstanding municipal concern and will improve theadministration ofjustice in Ontario. Currently, the government is working to provide final estimates on the totaloutstanding fines that would be payable to municipalities. The necessary information technology changes maytake up to two years to complete. AMO continues to urge the govemment to make the changes as quickly aspossible so that municipalities can be in a position to collect unpaid fines.

Permanency of Canada's Gas Tax Fund

The Board received an update on the current status of Canada's Gas Tax Fund. On March 21't, the federalgovernment's budget committed to indexing Canada's Gas Tax Fund at two per cent per year, and by greatlyexpanding the eligible categories to include culture, tourism, local sport and recreations facilities. This willassist municipalities as they plan for, and implement, their asset management plans. Ontario's portion of thenationally indexed allocation has yet to be confirmed and how a two per cent index in $1O0-million incrementswill be defined. AMO looks forward to working with the federal govemment on a renewed permanent Gas TaxFund Agreement to be in place by March 31,2014 that will implement its commitment.

To improve the profile of Canada's Gas Tax Fund in Ontario, AMO is again asking municipalities to share thebenefits of Canada's Gas Tax Fund at the local level. Please promote your Gas Tax projects through means suchas social media, website postings, meetings or events that federal offrcials attend and other means wherepossible. A letter is good too. AMO can help by doing the heavy lifting - municipalities should [email protected] to access our free resources and to ensure that their local stories are being told in a way thatmeets our collective goals.
